[1] Ahlgen remained involved in the production, including viewing all the dailies doing rewrites where necessary. She wanted to show the stark contrast between the city and country scenery. [3] However, the tone is lighter, and the lead character very distinct from The Bridge. [1]

As of February 2024, financing was being arranged for a second season, by TV4, Germany's ZDF, and Film i Skåne, [1] which Ahlgren had already started writing. [3]
